Those dairymen who do not believe in
the power of milk to rapidly absorb and
become contaminated by surrounding
noxious smells will do well to try the
following simple test, the results of
which will, doubtless Immediately con-
vince the most skepical: Take wide
bowl or soup plate to the cow stable
when you go to milk; pour into it a pint
of fresh milk, set it on the floor or at the
height of milk stool, so as to expose it
fully to the air of the stable, behind and
close to the cows. If the day is close
and heavy and the milk is cold, and the
stable not cleaned out and aired, the re-
suit will be surprising. Take it to the
house or anywhere away from the stable
and try to drink it.-Scientific American.

Between the Nankow pass and the
great wall we passed night at village
similar to Sha-ho, and on leaving it in
the morning we met long string Of
carts laden with logs about six feet long,
and intended to be made into coffins for
the natives of Pekin. These logs are
cut in Mongolia, 600 miles from the
great wall, and consequently must be
carried about 700 miles to find market.
The scarcity of wood In the densely popu
lated empire, and therefore, the high
price of lumber, together with the neces-
sity of coffins for those who die, rem
der this long transportation remunera-
tive. Some of the men in charge of this
wood train are inclined to insolence; they
make remarks about US that are evidently
the reverse of complimentary, to judge
by the laughter that follows them, and
the increasing rudeness which threatened
at one time to lead to fight.
1t was fortunate that we did not under
stand Chinese, or we might have been
provoked into disturbance which was
the very thing that would have made ex-
cuse for thoroughly thrashing, and per-
haps killing us. Our guide told them we
were English lamas or priests, and the
object of our mission was to investigate
certain disputed points about the holy
places of Mongolia. This well constructed
falsehood had the effect of quieting the
oriental hoodlums, but peace was only
assured by our getting out OF the way.
European travellers in this part of China
are almost invariably hooted at; not in
frequently they are stoned and otherwise
treated nearly as badly as are the Chi
nese in San Francisco and other Ameri-
can cities. 1t is proper to say that some
of our insulters had partaken freely OF
sam-choo, the Chinese equivalent fol-
whisky; it is made from rice, and when
new, is fiery enough to suggest as one
drinks it that he has swallowed torch
light procession or u whole Fourth Of
July. Like whisky it is cheering and in
ebriating at the same time. 1t is taker
cold by the ordinary native, but the fash
ionable way is to drink it hot from cup!
about the size of a lady's thimble. A
kettle is placed at the side Of the driqkel
and he poQrs out as many cups as hi
likes until his hand becomes unstead!

The People of France.

w. f. Proctor, vice-president of the
Singer Sewing Machine company, was
walking in Broadway day or two ago.
He has just returned from summer in
Europe. Most of the time was spent in

John Roach's Serious Physical Malady.

A prominent physician told me the
other day that John Roach has cancer
in his throat similar to that of Gen.
Grant. John Roach's trouble has been
brought on by causes similar to those
which were supposed to have been the
reasons for Gen. Grants disease. Mr..
Roach has never been smoker, but for
number of years he has had great
deal of worry. During the last year and
half he has endured every form of men
tai distress. Just after his failure he
could not be induced, except with diff

very low and impoverished, and the re-
suit is this cancer. Gen. Grant, before
the development of his throat disease, had
q bad fall and an attack of rheumatism.
His blood was thin and in q low state, and
when his great financial troubles came,
with the shadow of disgrace behind it, he
ate nothing for long time and barely

John A. Logan's death on Sunday, Dec. 90,
came with q suddenness that shocked the
whole country. Coming amid the Christmas
festivities il recalled tho start which the
country received at the assassination Of Lin

ty-one years before. To think that the strong,
big hearted Logan, who had been apparently
in excellent health, had been called away so
suddenly. His trouble was rheumatism,
which he contracted from exposure in
snowstorm during the war. His last attack
also followed snowstorm in which he was
caught month before his death.

The editor of Outing has just received
from Thomas Stevens, the globe-girdling
cyclist, u letter dated Delhi, India, in
which he says; "The weather is oppres-
sively hot; journey barely possible this
season of the year AugusD even by tax
ing things very leisurely." Some idea of
the temperature may be imagined when
we state that, with every appliance to
mitigate the heat in the shape of punkahs,

the thermometer indoors often registers
1870 degrees for weeks together.

JAMES A M'MAsTER. sent, when still but
a youth, to Union college during the presi-
dency of the famous Eliphalet Knott. After
graduating from college the young man took
up the study of religious subjects. He be-
came dissatisfied with the creed of his ances-
tors and entered the Catholic church about
forty-six years ago and became a journalist.
Mr.. McMaster took charge of The Free
mans Journal in 1S47. The vigor and fire of
the new editor were soon manifest, and The
Freeman's Journal had an assured place as
the leading Catholic paper of America. On
account of its political opinions, The Free
mans Journal was suppressed in 1869, and its
editor was confined in Fort Lafayette. On
his release he resumed his editorial duties,
which lasted until shortly before his death.

Masculine Beauty,

Somebody has found out that winsomeness
is impossible in a man possessed Of physical
beauty. He may be handsome fellow, per-
haps even beauty, and yet that fine and
subtle charm which attaches itself to female
loveliness can never be his. The mere beauty
of manliness, of character and brains car
ries heavy weight in its power of personal
attraction. Such as it is, it captivates
women a hundred times quicker than the ac-
knowledged handsome man, who, after all,
is a rara avis.-Boston Herald.
